Lagu ini dimulai dengan sebuah ajakan untuk minum, mengisyaratkan kondisi perih yang sedang dialami sang penyanyi. Lirik yang menyayat hati ini menangkap perjuangan batin dari seseorang yang dilanda kesedihan, dengan metafora yang kuat yang menggambarkan air mata palsu dan ketakutan yang menggerogoti.

The Sea Lyrics
Ed Sheeran
Pass me a drink
You say it's gonna take a while
Your consciousness sinks
Tears from a crocodile
You're wasting your time
Giving me the speech
You try to, don't reach
Your smile
You're holding your tears
Your inside is dead
You're eating your fears
In a cigarette
You've waited too long
To finally see
The sunshine in the rain
Is as deep as the sea
I've taken the blow
It's all down on paper
Had fun in the snow
But no ‘see you later'
You're wasting your time
Giving me the speech
You try to, don't reach
Your smile
You're holding your tears
Your inside is dead
You're eating your fears
In a cigarette
You've waited too long
To finally see
The sunshine in the rain
Is as deep as the sea
You say it's gonna take a while
Your consciousness sinks
Tears from a crocodile
You're wasting your time
Giving me the speech
You try to, don't reach
Your smile
You're holding your tears
Your inside is dead
You're eating your fears
In a cigarette
You've waited too long
To finally see
The sunshine in the rain
Is as deep as the sea
I've taken the blow
It's all down on paper
Had fun in the snow
But no ‘see you later'
You're wasting your time
Giving me the speech
You try to, don't reach
Your smile
You're holding your tears
Your inside is dead
You're eating your fears
In a cigarette
You've waited too long
To finally see
The sunshine in the rain
Is as deep as the sea
